All Roads Lead To Standing Rock

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
Water is life. The protesters are standing for what is right, to protect that which is Sacred and fundamentally Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
Displacement and hostile corporate take-over for land and resources have been happening since 1492. Any Native American can tell you this. Power and greed, taking more than you need, addiction. The ones that act with impunity, with disrespect, causing harm. This is unhealthy. Right relations need to be re-established, not only with others, but with and within one’s self. Balance is Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
We are the result of thousands of ancestors from thousands of years. We are ALL related. What we do to one, we do to all, ourselves included. The bones of the ancestors are our bones; the knowledge of right living is in our bones as is in the bones of the earth. We are the earth. We have forgotten how to live in right relations to others whether it be the water, land, plant people, or animal people. They have as much right to be here and to be as strong and healthy as we are. In fact, without them, we are nothing. Taking only what you need is Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
The mistreatment of our fellow brothers and sisters has gone on for too long. Oppression of other’s points of view and lifestyles only cause unrest. Activists and civil rights leaders knew this. Martin Luther King, Mary Edwards Walker, Malcom X, Elizabeth Cady Staton, Cesar Chavez, Phoolan Devi, Gandhi, Lucy Stone, Nelson Mandela, Sojourner Truth. Anyone who has taken a stand for Social Justice knows the importance of Respect. Respect of Others and Respect of Self. Humane treatment is Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
Corporations, Big Business, and those that support them have taken on all that represents what is broken in the human psyche: Greed, abuse of power, narcissism. They are the epitome of unhealthy, addicted, insecure humans. The raging bull and lion, who think they can do what they want with impunity, overtly and covertly. Due to these unhealthy ways, they are dragging us all down if we let them. Society created this due to our lost correct relations with Self. If we stay the same way we are now, if we keep quiet we are saying that all the things we dislike and disagree with are ok; that Rape is ok, that Homophobia is ok, that Racism and Bigotry are ok. Teaching proper Morals and Values to sustain life is Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock,
Microcosm/Macrocosm it is the same. People crying out for protection of water and resources, for protection of a way of life, and for right relations. Standing Rock is a mirror of the larger world showing broken promises, hidden agendas, denied rights of existence, violence met with peaceful protests along with suppression of coverage and apathy. Justice is Necessary for Life.

All Roads Lead to Standing Rock
The world is out of balance. Humanity is out of balance with itself. Each time we say peace to our brothers and hate to our sisters it is a black mark on humanities soul. We are in danger of losing ourselves and becoming our worst nightmare. All that are silent, MUST speak. Every single one of us that has known injustice and has kept quiet to those that oppress because that was what they were taught, need to wake up. We ALL need to wake up. The time is for opening up the closets and look our oppressors in the eyes and say NO. We are at a critical mass; we can no longer afford to be complacent at the cost of losing our Souls. Speaking up and taking a stand at this time is Necessary for Life.
